no root ssh

1. Create a new non-root user, follow the prompts: # adduser <new-username>
2. Give sudo permissions to the new user: # usermod -aG sudo <new-username>
3. Ensure that sudo is installed (which sudo ; if none, install it: apt install sudo)
4. Check groups for new user: # groups <new-username>
5. Edit sshd_config settings: # vim /etc/ssh/sshd_config
6. Under "Authentication", change PermitRootLogin from yes to no: "PermitRootLogin no"
7. (Optional) Change "MaxAuthTries" to a lower value to limit login attempts for any user: "MaxAuthTries 4"
8. Save the changes: :wq (save and exit vim)
9. Restart the ssh daemon: # systemctl restart sshd
10. Check the status of sshd: # systemctl status sshd (it should say "active (running)")
11. Verify the new configuration: try logging in as the new user and then becoming root: $ sudo su -
12. If the above works, try logging in as root again over SSH. Even with the correct password you should get 'access denied'
13. DONE!
